NEWS! I’ve been invited as the featured artist for Åsane Kulturfest

I’m very happy to announce that I’ve been invited to be the featured artist at Åsane Kulturfest, taking place from October 23 to November 1, 2026.

During the festival, I will present some of the newest work I have produced since moving to Salhus in the summer of 2026. The exhibition will showcase new paintings inspired by my new surroundings, the landscape, light, weather, and my experience of moving to Salhus and the Bergen area.

For me, this is an exciting opportunity to present a new phase in my artistic practice, while meeting audiences and other artists in a vibrant local cultural environment.

Come join us for some exciting days filled with art, music, and much more during Åsane Kulturfest!

Studio-time

Finally, I’m back in the studio.

After a very hectic winter and spring, I simply haven’t had the time or the headspace to spend the kind of time painting that I would have liked. Moving has been stressful in its own right, on top of all the other demands and responsibilities that life tends to bring with it.

But now, finally, things are beginning to settle.

I’m in my new studio, surrounded by space, light, and some truly gorgeous views. For the first time in a long while, I feel that I have room to unfold my wings again and get back to making work.

Having a large studio is more than just having more physical space. It gives me the opportunity to step away from a painting, look at it from a distance, and really consider what needs to change. Sometimes a work needs to be pushed further. Sometimes it needs to be stripped back. And sometimes the best thing I can do is simply walk away from it for a while and come back with fresh eyes.

That distance is an important part of my process.

There is something deeply satisfying about being surrounded by unfinished paintings, materials, ideas, and possibilities again. After months of disruption, it feels good to return to that uncertainty and exploration that comes with painting.

I’m not entirely sure where the new work will take me yet. That is part of the excitement.

For now, I’m just happy to be back in the studio.

Illustrations of Organic Figures

Recently, I’ve been working on some designs, but I’m uncertain about their direction. Creating meaningful visual representations of actions through intriguing figures involves exploring new ways to present form and anatomy. These illustrations feature a badminton player, Perseus, a skier, and a child playing with a toy car. Each piece aims to capture the essence and dynamism of the subject, blending realism with artistic interpretation.

Pain – Visualized

I took the opportunity to create a large ink drawing that I felt represented the pain in my stomach. It was a bit strange to visualize where the pain was coming from, but this exercise turned out to be surprisingly helpful. Turning my discomfort into an artistic expression gave me a new perspective and actually made me feel better. The whole process was therapeutic, allowing me to understand and cope with the pain in a more meaningful way.
